WEST PoIST, VA, August %, 1887.
County Court was in session to-day
and q large number OF our citizens
were in attendance.
The County Committee of the Demo-
cratic party was in session and organ
lied by the election OF Isaac Diggs,
Esq, a prominent young lawyer Of
this place, as county chairman. \ bet
ter selection could hardly have been
made. Mr.. Diggs is young, active, pro-
pressive, and jealous, and will no
doubt throw his whole soul into the
contest this fall. Work is all that is
needed to continue this county in the
Democratic fold.
Nothing is heard from the Republic
cans. 1t is reported that they are IN a
dilemma as to who shall have the honor
of being defeated this fall-one of two
white men or a negro. 1t IS presumed
the Boss has not yet been heard from,
or the matter would be settled.
1t is reported that the carrier OF the
mail from Frazier's Ferry to Tappahan-
mock has absconded. There are two
rumors to account for his disappearance.
One is to the effect that he took the
contract of carrying the mail too cheap,
was losing money, and could hold out
no longer. The other rumor IS that a
special detective has been on his route
on a hunt for the guilty party who has
been tampering with the mail. VI
course this latter is given only as a
rumor. 1t may not be true.
Rev. j. Ii. Newbill will preach his
